Harry Potter – Approaching the Magic World

"Yes, yes, good spirits."

Snape said in a dry voice,

"Of course, you Staying in prison is not of much use to him, but this posture is undoubtedly very good—"

"Posture!"

She screamed, angry. Under her, she looked a little crazy.

"When I was tortured by dementor, you hid in Hogwarts and played Dumbledore's darling comfortably!"

"Not at all," Snape said calmly. "He doesn't Ken gave me the teaching position of Defense Against the Dark Arts, you know.

He seems to think that it will make me fall again...to lure me back to the old path."

"That's the sacrifice you made for the Dark Lord? Can't teach your favorite subject?"

She sneaked, "Why have you stayed there, Snape? Still watching Dumbledore secretly, for A master you believe is dead?"

"Maybe not,"

Snape said, "But the Dark Lord is glad I didn’t give up my teaching position: when he comes back, I can ask He provided information about Dumbledore for sixteen years. This is a more valuable meeting gift than endless reminiscences of Azkaban’s tragic situation..."

"But you stayed-- "

"Yes, Bellatrix, I will stay."

Snape said, showing impatience for the first time.

"I have a comfortable job, why go to Azkaban and go to jail?

You know, they were rounding up Death Eater.

Dumbledore's protector I’m free from prison. I don’t have to use such convenient conditions.

I repeat: Dark Lord didn’t complain about me for staying. I don’t understand why you make irresponsible remarks.

I think, the next thing you want to know is,"

He pressed harder and raised his voice slightly because Bellatrix made it obvious that he wanted to interrupt him,

p>

"Why did I prevent the Dark Lord from getting the Philosopher's Stone? This question is easy to answer.

He doesn’t know if he can trust me. Like you, he thinks that I’ve gotten from a faithful Death Eater became Dumbledore's lackey.

He was in a pitiful situation, very weak, and shared a body with a mediocre wizard.

He didn't dare to expose himself to one A former supporter, what if that supporter reported him to Dumbledore or Ministry of Magic?

He didn't believe me, I feel very sorry.

Otherwise, he can be three early Returning in the year.

At that time, all I saw was Quirrell, who was greedy and incompetent, trying to steal Philosopher's Stone. I admit that I tried my best to stop him."

Bellatrix's His lips murmured, as if swallowed a particularly unpalatable dose of medicine.

"But when he came back, you didn't come back right away, and when you felt Dark Mark was burning, you didn't rush to him—"

"Yes. I am. I went back two hours later. I followed Dumbledore's orders to go back."

"Follow Dumbledore—"

"Think about it!"

Snape showed impatience again,

"Think about it! After waiting for two hours, in just two hours, I promised that I could continue to stay in Hogwarts as a spy !

I made Dumbledore think that I returned to the Dark Lord by following his instructions so that I could report Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix continuously!

Think about it, Bellatrix: During those months, Dark Mark became clearer and clearer, and I knew he was going to make a comeback. All Death Eaters knew about it!

I have enough Time to consider where I am going, plan what I should do next, such as fleeing like Karkaroff, right?

"I explained to the Dark Lord that I have always been loyal to him, even though Dumbledore thought I was him. People.

After listening to my explanation, Dark Lord’s dissatisfaction caused by my late departure disappeared without a trace.

Yes, the Dark Lord thought I would leave him forever, but he was wrong. "

"But what role have you played?" "

Bellatrix asked sarcastically, "What useful information have we got from you?" "

"My information was passed directly to the Dark Lord," Snape said, "Since he didn't tell you about them--"

"He will tell me everything! "

Bellatrix was furious: "He said I was his most loyal and reliable—"

"Really? Snape said, changing his tone slightly, expressing his disbelief, "After the Ministry of Magic defeat, does he still say that?" "

"It's not my fault! Bellatrix said with a blushing face, "In the past, the Dark Lord entrusted me to keep his most precious things-if it weren't for Lucius -"

"How dare you-how dare you say that it is my husband 'S fault! "

Narcissa said in a low, fiercely voice, looking up at her sister.

"It's useless to find out who was at fault," Snape said calmly , "What should be done has been done. "

"But you didn't do anything! Bellatrix said angrily. "Yeah, the rest of us are risking life and death, but you are not here again, aren't you, Snape?" "

"The order I got was to stay behind. "

Snape said, "Do you disagree with the idea of ​​the Dark Lord, do you think that if I join the Death Eater camp and fight the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore will be unaware?"

Also—please forgive me—you said you risked it...actually you are facing only six teenage children, aren’t you? "

"You know, soon half of the Order of the Phoenix people have joined in!"

" "

Bellatrix angrily roared,

"Also, since it comes to Order of the Phoenix, you still claim that you can't reveal where their headquarters is, can you? "

"I am not a Secret Keeper, so I can't name that place.

I think you should understand how that magic works, right? The Dark Lord is very satisfied with the information I passed to him on the Order of the Phoenix.

You probably guessed that my intelligence led to the recent arrest and killing of Emileen Vance, and undoubtedly helped solve Sirius Black. However, it turned out that he was still not responsible for his life. It must be. "

He tilted his head and raised his glass to greet her. Her expression did not relax at all.

"You are avoiding my last question, Snape.

Harry Potter, in the past five years, you can put him to death at any time. You didn't do it, why? "

"Have you discussed this issue with the Dark Lord?" "

"He...recently, we...I asked you, Snape! "

"If I killed Harry. Potter, the Dark Lord can’t use his blood to obtain a new student and make himself invincible—"

"You dare to say that you foresaw that he was going to use that boy? "

"I didn't say that. I don't know anything about his plan. I just said frankly that I thought the Dark Lord was dead.

I just want to explain why the Dark Lord did not feel sorry to see Potter alive, at least until a year ago..."

"But why did you let him live? "
